abstract="A close relative of 55 severely head injured adults rated the personality of the patient at 3, 6 and 12 months after injury, using a Yes/No judgement, and analogue scales comprising bipolar adjectives. The relative assessed the &quot;current&quot; as well as the &quot;premorbid&quot; personality at each time. Personality change was associated with many negative scores on the analogue scale, and increasing negative scores were associated with high &quot;subjective burden&quot; on the relative. Severity of injury (post-traumatic amnesia) was of no significance in predicting the extent or pattern of personality change.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
